About LOIS BRATCHER  "Everything she touches turns to SOLD!" 

My personal philosophy has always been, "If it's worth having, it's worth working hard for!" This is the secret to my success!  This is why I continue to offer my customers the #1 SERVICE they deserve.

Over the past 31 years I have dedicated full time service to my customers and assisted over 2920 families in buying or selling their home.

The secret to a great real estate agent is one who puts the "Customer First!" Doing what's best for my customer is my First Priority!

My 31 years of experience and knowledge gained from working with the first-time home buyer to the savviest seller, has been most beneficial to myself, and to my customers.

"I am an experienced agent with extensive knowledge of mortgage financing. I will assist you in obtaining your mortgage and help prepare you for today's market, whether you are buying or selling."

You can count on me to be HONEST and tell you, not what you want to hear, but what you need to know, in order to be a successful buyer, and the seller who actually gets their home SOLD!

When choosing me as your REALTOR, I will help "DRESS your house for Success"!

I promise to share all my best SECRETS and EXPERTISE with you.

Just as the Real Estate market is ever changing, so are the needs of Buyers and Sellers. I take pride in my ability to UNDERSTAND and LISTEN to your needs, handle them with Confidence, Integrity and Professionalism! No matter what the situation may be.

Beyond the Closing, I will be there to share decorating/repair tips, offer discounts for paint & carpet, recommend affordable and reputable contractors, as I earn the privilege to be your "Realtor for Life"!

Expertise
BUYER CONSULTANT: As a Certified Buyer Specialist, I will take time to listen to your wants and needs and respect your comfort level of affordability. I will help find and locate the home you desire and guide you through the buying process, advising you every step of the way.

SELLER CONSULTANT:  People sell their homes for many different reasons (Up Scaling, Downsizing, Divorce, Financial Distress, Death, etc) and I take a lot of pride in helping them make the "right decision" that is BEST for them. It may not be the right time emotionally or financially to sell.  My goal is to build relationships that last a lifetime. If the time is right, I'm ready to put my expertise to work and get your home SOLD for the Best Price and Shortest time possible. 

DRESSING YOUR HOUSE FOR SUCCESS: After working with thousands of buyers and sellers, I know what it takes to prepare your home and guide you as "stage" your house to show BEST, while working within the means of your household, as it relates to "comfort" and "affordability".

MARKETING: Every home has a story to tell and it is my job to highlight all the positive features and entice the buyer to want to see your home. Before they step inside I create a sense of excitement and a desire for your home to be "the one" the buyer has been looking for.

PRICING: My goal is to SELL your house, not to list it. I will provide you with the best comparable sales within the past 12 months, a current list of competing properties and history; and together based on factual information determine what your home is worth in today's market. I will not tell you what you want to hear just to get "a listing". I will be honest and professional so that your home will be "SOLD!"

MORTGAGE FINANCING: Whether it is your first home or 3rd home, everyone is interested in finding a reputable lender, the best interest rates, low closing costs, reasonable processing time and the best program to fit their needs. I will assist and help guide you so that you have a smooth and satisfied buying experience. For first-time buyers I help prepare a budget so that they are comfortable with the new mortgage payment and have a true sense of related expenses (utilities) to best prepare for home ownership.

NEGOTIATION: As a Certified Negotiation Specialist I will assist you in negotiation situations that result in an agreed upon purchase price that is fair for both parties. Put my experience and finesse to the test! You won't be disappointed!

PROBLEM SOLVING: The true test of a "Great Realtor" is how they handle problems when they arise, and yes, every transaction has its own share of problems, from the home inspection to the day of closing, and sometimes beyond! Some of which you never know about because "your agent" was able to handle it.  I am very confident that if there is a problem and it has a way to be solved - I can creatively solve it and find a way to make it work. PROBLEM SOLVED!

COMMUNICATION:  The key to great customer relationships is of course "COMMUNICATION". The first test is this "Profile Page". I challenge you to find another Realtor in my market place that has shared as much information as I, and if you had to make a decision today on who you may want to be YOUR REALTOR, who would you choose? I hope the answer is LOIS BRATCHER!

CONCIERGE SERVICES: One of the benefits of being in this business is getting to know people. I have learned from my own experience and from others, who to call when you need an electrician, plumber, carpenter, etc. Or, where to purchase carpet/paint and get a discount. Also, who offers the best services and deals. As your Realtor, I will share with you all my knowledge even long after the deal is closed! This is my personal pledge of continued service to you!
